Notice of Grange Mfeeting.
There has boon considerable work
done on the streets lately, and their
-condition is much improved.
The fall session of Mount Zion
Institute oponod on Monday. It is
hoped that the institution will be
nore prosperous than over.
We are requested to state that
the match game of base ball between
the nine from Columbia and the
Nameless nine of this place will
commence at half-past three o'clock,
sharp.
The time for taxpayers to make
their returns to the county auditor
).expires on the 31st inst. After that
time, the auditor is required by law
to take the returns of the delin
quent taxpayer for last year as the
returns for this year-adding a pol
alty of fifty per cent. This will iii
crease the dolinguont's ta just one
half.
Po-5oNA GRANGE. -The attention
,of farmers and Grangers is called
io the notice, published in another
column, announcing that a meeting
will be held at White Oak on Sat
urday next, for the purpose of organ
izing a Pomona Grange. We trast the
meeting will be largely attended. It
is highly important that the Grange
I d b, kept up in Fairfield..g"
well as 1 other portions -of ' the
State, and e 'y farm" should do
his share of the ood work. The
gathering at White Oak promives to
be q, very interesting one.
H. A. Gaillard, Esq., member of
the House of Representatives from
this county, reached home on Sa.tr
day. He had boon in attendance
upon the meeting of the judieiary
committee, c.lled t-) considor the
triail justice system of the
State. Tie committeo has pro
pared two plans to bo submitted to
the Legislature--one making im
provements in the trial jnstice sys
tern, and the other creating county
courts. The majority of the com,
mittee favor the latter scheme, and
it will doubtless be adopted.
A specimen Tramp.
A tramp, accompanied by his wife
and three children, passed along the
Colubia road on Monday. He was
in a miserable plight, but had not
lost his taste for luxuries. He said
that both ho and his wife constantly
cbewed tobacco, and, for himself, he
just couldn't do without it, When
asked what he would do if he were
called on to choose between a sup,.
ply of bread for his children and
one of tobacco for himself, he evaded
the question, and said he would take
a little of both.- "But," said the ques
tioner, 0suppose you conidn't get
both." 'oWell," replied the lover of
the weed, "I could always get some
of both. J'v just got to have it."
This was said by a man who, accord,.
ing to his own showing, had been work
ing at fifty cents per da~, and find
ing himself-by a ma') tramping
through the country, followed by a
wife and three children, homeless,
penniless, and, perhaps dlersorvedly,
friendless. It is of course difficult
for the lawy to reuach such offenders
Sagainst socioty, and, indeed, against'
humanity itaalf. Bunt if such a fel
low could be put in a work-house
for a month or two, and madle to
work, even if the lash had to be
applied, lhe would come out a much
wiser and a much better man, TJhe
mi.sfortpmne of most tramps lies in
their inordinate laziness, and some.
thing sho;ld be dlone to cure them
of that failing. A sound thrashing
is about the boat remedy that we
4an think of.

FATAL Fm W'r OVER A DINNER.
Bennottsyille was thrown into a
stato of excitement oil Ti.esday last,
by the killing of one pirisonor in jil
by another. About a month ago a
notorious negro, named John Mc
Qucen, was arrested in Chesterfield
county, charged with rapo upon a
white woman, and confined in jail
tor safe keeping. Ton days after
wards, Alex. Sparks, aliav Gwin, a
inulatto, was arrested in the same
1ounty for resisting an officer and
:listurbing the peace. On Tu.sday
those two parties wore engaged in a
-amio of cards, by which Gwin bot
nd lost his dinner. Very soon the
alor came up stairs with the ncal
tor the prisoners, and handed Gwin
his through the hole in the door ;
uld as soon ae he ca-lught hold of tle
plate, the negro caught t4e other
iide and throw the whole thing into
Uwin's face, Whereupon 1he drew
i fonr-bladed pocket-Iknife, and
with the small blado attsempted to
cut the negro's throat ; but the
negro, being a very strong and pow
orful man, forced Gwin's arm down,
and when in that position Gwin
stabbed hirn in the thigh, causing
his death in ten. minutes. The
negro killed had a very bad r-nputa
tion as a mean and dangerous mau.
